How could something so outrageous possibly make sense?
Wang Shaojie stood dumbfounded, no longer knowing what to say.
He now felt as though the whole world was putting on an act for him.
Everyone present deserved an award for best actor.
"Wang Shaojie, you know what? I don't actually hate you. In fact, I'm very grateful to you."
Suddenly, Qin Xiao's words drew Wang Shaojie out of his thoughts.
He looked over and saw Qin Xiao gazing at him with a sincere expression.
"Are you fucking mocking me?"
The more sincere Qin Xiao looked, the more Wang Shaojie felt slapped in the face.
This was going too far.
But Qin Xiao merely spread his hands helplessly. "I really am grateful to you..."
His words caused quite a stir.
"Qin Xiao, what's wrong? Did something happen to you?"
Jing Hongchen frowned.
Xuan Ziwen's face was also full of concern. "Brother Qin, why would you say that?"
"Martial Uncle, you didn't hurt your head, did you?"
Ju Zi looked anxious too, tears welling in her eyes. "It's all my fault. If he hadn't saved me, Martial Uncle wouldn't have become mentally impaired..."
Qin Xiao: "..."
What the fuck were they talking about?
He had only wanted to get under Wang Shaojie's skin, but they had taken him for someone whose intelligence had dropped after a head injury.
"There's really nothing wrong with me..."
He offered a feeble explanation, then suddenly unleashed a surge of soul power.
However.
What he activated was not his Spirit Eyes martial soul, but his second martial soul, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
The temperature in the Laboratory abruptly plummeted.
"Hiss..."
Ju Zi couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.
Even with her cultivation, she already felt cold.
She could even clearly see white mist with every breath.
